ASME ( American Society of Mechanical Engineers )
Description: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) is a professional association that, in its own words, "promotes the art, science, and practice of multidisciplinary engineering and allied sciences around the globe" via "continuing education, training and professional development, codes and standards, research, conferences and publications, government relations, and other forms of outreach." ASME is thus an engineering society, a standards organization, a research and development organization, a lobbying organization, a provider of training and education, and a nonprofit organization. Founded as an engineering society focused on mechanical engineering in North America, ASME is today multidisciplinary and global.

On the Tracking Error of a Self-Contained Solar Tracking System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper deals with the analysis of the tracking errors of a self-contained solar tracking system that is totally powered by solar energy. The effect of the different design parameters of ...
Independent Modal Space Control With Positive Position Feedback
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study presents an Independent Modal Space Control (IMSC) algorithm whose modal control forces are generated based on a Positive Position Feedback (PPF) strategy. This is in contrast to ...
Boundary Control of Beams Using Active Constrained Layer Damping
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A variational mathematical model is developed using Hamilton’s principle to describe the dynamics of beams fully-treated with Active Constrained Layer Damping (ACLD) treatments. The resulting ...
A New Class of Distributed Sensors
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A new class of distributed sensors is presented which can measure both the linear and angular deflections of composite beams. The sensor relies in its operation on a set of wires which are ...
Multicell Active Acoustic Metamaterial With Programmable Effective Densities
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Considerable interest has been devoted to the development of various classes of acoustic metamaterials. Acoustic metamaterials are those structurally engineered materials that are composed of ...
Optimization of Power Absorption From Sea Waves
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This article presents a generalized procedure for selecting rationally the design parameters of a simple wave power absorption system. The system utilizes a tethered-symmetrical float which rides ...
Optimum Design and Control of Active Constrained Layer Damping
